The designs in this book are used in stocks knitted by turkish women. Some of the patterns are of ancient origin while a few are of more recent development. Anyone interested in the preservation of traditional art in a modern setting will find this book stimulating and challenging.
Free Energy Computations: A Mathematical Perspective (2010)
This monograph provides a general introduction to advanced computational methods for free energy calculations, from the systematic and rigorous point of view of applied mathematics. Free energy calculations in molecular dynamics have become an outstanding and increasingly broad computational field in physics, chemistry and molecular biology within the past few years, by making possible the analysis of complex molecular systems. This work proposes a new, general and rigorous presentation, intended both for practitioners interested in a mathematical treatment, and for applied mathematicians interested in molecular dynamics.
Box making is perfect for beginning woodworkers interested in gaining skills, experimenting with design, and feeling satisfaction at a project that can be completed without the time and expense commitment of a bigger project. This book will offer basic designs, as well as many variations to teach different woodworking techniques while the reader creates a practical item or a gift that will become an heirloom. While this book will be enjoyed by beginners, it will also be great for any woodworker interested in small projects that can be done in a weekend with wood leftover from another project.
International Handbook of the Economics Corruption
This exhaustive collection, edited by Rose-Ackerman, cannot be called anything but excellent... Overall, a wonderful addition to the literature. Highly recommended.'- C.J. Talele, Choice'Susan Rose-Ackerman is a world-class economist and an authority on the economics of corruption. This is a fine reference volume that every economist interested in this important subject will want to have as a ready reference.'- Jagdish Bhagwati, Columbia University, US
Shows how a relatively simple series of 'formulas' can be applied, rather like a new language, to enable the reader to create knotwork patterns very quickly...opens new doors for the serious artist interested in learning the language of Celtic knotwork.
